There are those social workers who have risked life and limb to rescue children who are abused even by their own parents. There are stories of children who have been rescued from abusive parents by brave social workers who are trained to recognize abuse even if the children are too scared to report it. Social workers are also catalysts for change. They not only help their cases endure their current ...

Intervention can also be harmful to child development. Ill-treatment and neglect is a public issue because children ...

Dealing with matters concerning the abuse of children has been one of the more complex issues that both police and policy makers have had to face in recent years. The reason for this is that by law it is quite difficult to prove that there is sufficient abuse to justify infringing on a parent’s rights and separate them from their own child. That being said, separating a child from an abuse parent in many instances is the right course of action; however, it becomes a complicated legal battle to justify taking the child and also find a way ...

As adults, there are times when we reflect on our childhood years and feel very emotional about situations whereby those vested with our care and protection failed to consider what was in our best interest. More often than not, children feel that their voices are not being heard, that they are being treated unfairly or that their real problems are trivialized and sometimes ignored. Child advocacy is all about speaking out on what is in the best interests of children, their needs and rights. Some of the issues in child advocacy include child abuse, foster care, parental substance abuse, ...

Child investigation is a very tricky activity owing to age sensitivity of the child which, if wrongly done, it could have adverse ramifications on the child. However, this action is necessary as it provides a substantial basis for evidence collection during the investigation (Hammer, Moynihan, and Pagliaro, 2013). The fact that child testimony and evidence carries significant weight in terms of evidence also opens it up to instances which are sensitive to the child that may result in collection of the wrong evidence provided as a result of various causes such as pleasing the interviewer, forgetfulness, or failure to ...

ABSTRACT

Child pornography is generally considered an almost unspeakable perversion. John Doe is a 21-year old Caucasian male that has been arrested and tried for possession and distribution of this material. A postarrest mental health assessment shows that his main problems are social and emotional in nature. The criminal postarrest assessment hypothesizes that this criminal activity may be due to social awkwardness. These two differ in nature because the former looks to establish a mental evaluation, exploring the personal aspects of this activity, while the second looks for motives in order to contrast his behavior with the law. He has ...

Children and youth in correctional institutions are extremely vulnerable. They come most often from disadvantaged families, and in many cases, they have experienced trauma or victimization before reaching the correctional institutions. The official role of the correctional institutions is to rehabilitate young delinquents (Davidson-Arad, Benbenisthy & Golan, 2009). Once in the care of the state, they should be protected from further victimization, and helped to overcome their traumas, so as to be reintegrated into the society successfully, and to become healthy and active members of their communities. However, in many cases, correctional institutions become the settings for new forms of ...
